All: some self promotion here - but I believe it's relevant to this group. Tomorrow, Wed Mar 4th, I'll be presenting a 90 minute web seminar on agile...
Hi, I'm writing my Master's Thesis at the moment and in my Thesis I'm trying to find the biggest problems between the two methods and then to integrate Scrum...
Linda There should be little problem if you understand that Scrum can be used in both iterative and incremental work. The real issue is making sure that you ...
Linda, To clarify, SCRUM is a method for delivering working software, UCD is not a method but a collection of techniques to determine software requirements and...
Hi Linda, One of the bigger issues that I see and read about is the 'How much up-front design?' issue. UCD likes a lot of up-front design and Scrum/Agile only...
There are a number of ways the UCD-Agile connection is being made, and I guess Linda wanted to hear reports of experience in the various approaches. I haven't...
Hi Robert, Yes, I see.. Thanks for pointing that out. I lost track of the "writing a Masters thesis" bit and went off on my own tangent because I have a lot of...
... Ok, I understand that. I'm not in complete agreement, but I think we may be using words differently. For example, I think UI people need skills and...
... Hi, Linda. This may be a slightly more philosophical answer than you want, but I think one important set of issues can be summed up by Voltaire's maxim,...
Hello Everyone... I am referring to the model that is given in UIE Virtual Seminar The Essentials of Agile Development that is given by Jeff recently... (SLIDE...
... My easy three-step solution: 1. Put everybody in the same room. 2. When designers design, encourage them to frequently get feedback from the developers. 3....
Thanks William, the problem is in Agile you know that we always buy stories and work on them in sprints ... designers always do early designs so that it can...
... I agree with your general thrust, Mike: a collaborative relationship is the only way to go. One quibble, though. Personally, I use the "buy stories"...
Thanks Mike .... in a project we usually take all the features and build them in the form of " user stories" and place all of these stories in the project...
The way I normally apply Agile methods, teams work on things together. If your product needs developers and designers, I think they should be on the same team....
I use the same terms and the same words (sans buy) to do something a bit different. All stories accepted into a sprint/iteration must be completed within that ...
To put forth an even more fundamental notion William. A team begins as a collection of people whose skills and motivation can deliver value. As the ...
I agree to what you say , I would love to have Developers / Designers to be in the same team but it is not possible once example as i said earlier ... if...
... In that case, are you sure you should be using an Agile approach? It doesn't sound like your environment is a good fit. I'd recommend looking at some other...
Hello, Srinivas. On Tuesday, March 10, 2009, at 8:51:00 AM, you ... Why? Are some of them in prison? ... Yes. This is an obstacle. You must remove it. Ron...
Thanks everyone for your input... will make it as a mandit to include developers in my initial design meetings and will say this will be a roadblock if not...
Srinivas (and all), I as a UX team member would want to get user input in a variety of ways. Usability evaluation is a good one, and with a coordinated team, ...
WHOA! Look dude, Ron was being very nice. We are not talking about letting developers in to the initial design meetings. Agile is about everyone being...
Nancy... when I refer to the product backlog , all the stories that are there in the product backlog came from users and those are what users asked for .....
Mike, we as a team are still trying to understand Agile, and we are working based on how easy it is for us that suites our working model. Agile says that we...
Srinivas, May I suggest Desiree Sy's article if you haven't seen it yet? http://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/upa_publications/jus/2007may/agile-ucd.pdf ...
First why is it that the people would not stay in the same place? Second how often have you seen this happen. You desing a UI and the user love it, the...
